Ahhh! The short hair!
So if you had not heard...I finally got the guts to do it! It meaning I chopped off my long hair for locks of love as I had been planning to do with my sister for over two years now. We did it around the same time as race for the cure all in memory of our mom. So I can't say I regret it...but yes I miss it a little...a lot really but hell. Its now just a matter of figuring out short blond hair characters to cosplay as...not used to that one. Meh, it will grow out eventually. But as requested by a few...her are the pics from race from the cure day with my sister and friend who both walked the race with me.

Ah so loved...
So I have gotten a lot of wonderful things made for me as of recent and feel as though I needed to share. The silliness ranging from James drawing me Mugen from Samurai Champloo to Chris at work leaving me a smiley face garlic...0_o Ha ha. I love them all.  More please...

My little angel dog...
Its close to mothers day and I think of my mom and her love for animals, and of the recent passing of my little Shadow. I hope she and mom are now enjoying each others company with many other great pets Gretchen, Tisha, and more. I miss them all but am happy to think they are watching over me now.

Following the new vampire trend...
Well no, I was a lover of Vampires from way back thanks to (Sami-kins for getting me into Ann Rice, Emi-chan for creating our own vamp world, and Misty-chan for introducing me to the new Twilight)...though I would prefer if I had such a choice in the matter I would be a werewolf. As my mother had told me according to some old legends my mother was in fact a werewolf. And I was always very proud of that. Now the silly legend is that anyone kicked out of the Catholic church could be come a were wolf, and though I would HOPE it would happen less now, my mother was kicked out when she was pregnant with my oldest sister, but unmarried. And that gives me a whole new list of things that I admire about my mother from being a single mom for a bit to indulging my creative active mind. Like I said she did agree with me that we were both of were wolf decent now. Ha ha. But back to the Vampires, in another favorite of mine is Hellsing, and my recent Hellsing cosplay in which I strode gallantly...or tried to, if you know me I am quite the opposite and clumsy...as the great Sir Integra Hellsing, with my companions Megan as Alucard and James who actually went along with this one pretty well as he got to wear some sweet gloves, as Walter.

Crying
"I've cried over you twice now, and you're not even worth it." "I am just a fool with no one to blame but myself, because I want to believe so badly that people can be trusted and are inherently good that I end up getting hurt over and over." I have a morbid take on crying. Well for one, I just don't like it, and I try my damnedest not to ever do it. Not that I am saying that's healthy, far from it. But when I was younger and my mom was ill, I wanted to be the strong one for everyone. I had taught myself not to cry. And it took a while for me to really break down after she passed away. It probably was not the right thing to do...then to continue that trend of probably not quite right, I feel now that when I do cry its disrespectful to my mother. I tend to think that one should do their best to get over the little things and save the tears for what is really trying in life. So if I do slip up and cry, it only makes me double upset at the cause. Too bad more often than not I am part of that cause. Still, I do fully agree with that second quote, and have to feel that if getting hurt can be a unfortunate side effect from believing in people, I will still take that risk.

Why I love Halloween...
For one, there are great Halloween parties to go to and you never even have to learn anybody's real name. You can spend the whole night saying "Hey Pumpkin!" Or "That Vampire is hilarious." with out even knowing who those people really are. That's great for me since I am terrible at remembering peoples names. And if I happen to meet up with any new people I met at a party later, its completely acceptable that I don't remember it!

"My moma loves Obama"
YEAH!!! Ohio does not suck anymore....(welll mostly) we are finally a blue state again. I am actually really happy to be American right now, and so full of hope! I still think its going to be a hard road and some tough years ahead, but I really feel like things can change now. I am wearing my "my momma loves Obama" tee shirt today, and everyone at work is in the best of moods. Its great to see hope.

Stop lapping me Sephiroth!
Soooo... I finally got my wii-fit! And I am loving it! Ok, its hard work when you get down too it, but fun too and just what I need to keep me motivated about exercising. I have always tried to make exercising fun. (Like I run on the tread mill and listen to the Getbackers sound track with the song "I dislike this!" and pretend I am running though the limitless fortress with an enemy behind me....yes I have a never ending imagination.) But, this has the great feature of a program you jog in place on, and as you do you pass all the other Mii's you have created. So I jog as I "say hi" to friends and all of the anime characters I have made into Mii's. So its pretty funny when it seems its always Akabane who is waiting for me at the finish line and cheering. I seem to pass the Burger King, King on the sideline a lot. Kakashi waves to me, but damn Sephitoth keeps passing me up and I swear he is sneering at me!!!

Back from China...
Visiting China was really a moving and eye-opening experience. I feel like it has changed a few of my ideas of life and even myself. I wish I had better words to describe it all, because anything I have tied to write here has felt very lacking. I did write of my experiences every day though to try to take in all I was seeing and doing (which was a ton!). I may have gotten some names or facts wrong here or there but my feelings of it all were the same and I wanted to remember as much as possible. I don't expect anyone to read it all, and its just my onions and what I really felt about the beautiful country and its people. In short, I would love to go back!  The exit signs in China are green and they look like they are telling you to run from an octopus...fortunately I just happened to have and octopus with me!!

Party Hats in Public

Cosplay you say?
 James took this picture, and it makes me laugh. Even though I am in costume I don't look anything like my character in it. More like me being silly. Actually I think the frown was from listening to a panel called " Your Anime Sucks". In the panel they rip on all animes that are suggested by thier fans. It was quite funny, but when they made fun of getbackers I had to whimper a little. Yep, I am back from another fabulous con. I get the chance to go to a con about once or twice a year so I was thrilled to be able to attend my favorite con Anime Punch. It tends to be my favorite because it is put on by the anime club of OSU and tends to have a collage age crowd. Its also smaller than the grand ohyaocon but but big enough to see lots of great cosplay. My favorite attraction (well that and the random glompling, hee hee.) I also have the tradition of making a new cosplay outfit for every con I attend. This con I went as Misa from Death Note. Woo hoo! Come to think of it, I actaully started this blog wiht intention of it being my cosplay blog. Ha ha. Ohwell. It does give me a good excuse to review what I have made the past few years though. Cosplay fun in cut... ( Read more... ) Current Mood: accomplished | | Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 | | 8:45 pm |
"...we'll collect the moments one by one...."
Last night we had the first real spring storm. I can honestly say there are not many other feelings more amazing and comforting to me than a beautiful thunder storm. Yes, despite the guilt I feel, since my poor dog who is hiding under my bed, I did say comforting. I don't even remember ever being afraid of it. I owe that part to my dad. As a little girl he would take me out onto out screened in front porch, even in the heaviest of downpours, to watch the lightning in the sky like it was a fireworks show. I remember sitting on his lap and and pointing with him in awe of the long bright streaks in the sky and then laughing in delight of the loud thunder. Even when we could feel the rain whip in through the screens we would still stay outside as long as we could before my mother would call us in, complaining that we would surly catch a cold or worse. I would then plead with my dad to stay out just a little longer, but he would just smile and hoist me up onto his shoulders, promising me that we could probably get away with watching a little longer from the bedroom window. I don't have a screened in porch anymore, and I live far enough away from my dad that we can't see them together very often, but sometimes I will still sit outside in the rain to watch the show. I didn't get to see much last night, the show came pretty late and James was asleep. But, I never mind laying awake listening to it. And its just the start of the season, so I know I will have more to look forward too. Its funny how these memories come to me. I was just telling someone the other day how much my personality was like my mother's, but I am often reminded how much I am like my father too. Ha ha. Oh well. Here is to spring thunderstorms and summer nights. Its finally turning to my season. ^_^ Current Mood: nostalgicCurrent Music: feist - mushaboom | | Thursday, February 28th, 2008 | | 12:40 pm |
Cupcake cuties!
So I have been busting my a** to make some cakes lately, and having a blast....but no time. Its a bit stressful but I really want to take on as much as I can so I can get some good business making wedding cakes this summer. So as a stress reliever, I bought myself a cupcake! I can't resist cute looking cupcakes, and these were awesome. (yeah I know it sounds silly that I have been making cakes all week and then pay for a cupcake...but it gives me inspiration and really I don't get to eat the cakes I make, nor do I want to take the time to make one for myself...ha ha) cut to cupcakes and a few of my cakes...

Ha ha...yeah...we met at a comic convention...
I don't know why I have not thought of this before... Well when James and I got married I made a short manga to tell the story of how James and I met. James made the cover and help me put it all together and print it off. Then we set copies of the story like a comic book at each table for the dinner reception. We had the manga story and other ones from our relationship; like how he proposed and other things people like to ask. It was a fun idea that everyone seemed to love, but then everyone wanted a copy and we had only printed a few. They were pricey to print, but I have never thought of just posting the manga part on my LJ for some of my friends to read. So here it is. How James and I met...in the very silly drawn version of it. (now keep in mind I drew this 2 weeks before the wedding when I was trying to get EVERYTHING for the wedding done too...so I think it could have been better, but eh, its cute.) Lots of pics here ( Read more... ) Current Mood: chipperCurrent Music: Gackt- Birdcage | | Monday, December 31st, 2007 | | 10:54 pm |
Well... I'm 25....WOO HOO!!!
 I am 25 now! Today actually. I thought for a long time of what I would write today and they were all rather depressing thoughts but, today I can honestly say...(much to my own surprise) I am 25 and couldn't imagine feeling any happier about it!!! I guess that was all thanks to my friends and family today for making this such a great b-day. As you can see above - James made me a card as tradition (since I turned seventeen on he has be drawing me in a different style each year in a birthday card). I think this year was the best yet as it shows the 25 faces of me...hee hee. Well sort of, some are me dressed up as some of my favorite anime characters. (amazing! even "jackal summer"...gods I hope not) It even shows my own silly habits ---> (the one where I am sad reads "don't separate those two inanimate objects" because I get sad when two things even NOT ALIVE are separated...I am a bit silly ...) Then my best friend made me an amv... I AM IN A AMV!!! OH I love it!! Its crazy because I had the same idea for her using the same song... but I would never have been able to pull it off. It somehow combines all the silly things that are me and great things I love in one of my favorite songs! ... I have watched it about 5 times now...in a row. hee hee. Really its already like one of my little dreams come true. So thank you to all those who called me today, or e-mailed, or thought of me. Not to be overly sappy (who me...ha) but hey, with great friends like these I can't wait to see what the next year holds. Thanks and Happy New Year everyone!
